when we found it on one of our early morning walks
it was on the side of the road in the trash pile
our neighbors son and his roommates were throwing it away

The bones were good
but it did need work
this piece just seemed to be screaming chalk paint

You may remember this before picture.........
So with the "vintage white" chalk paint in hand and no sanding or primer
this trashed hall tree started to come alive
all the lovely details really began to pop

Because this was my first time using chalk paint
it was fun to see if it was going to live up to all the hype I had read about
yes it is worth all the hype{Love}
chalk paints coverage I only gave this piece one coat to see the coverage
it was amazing and it
has a great matt finish that has a vintage look and feel

Do you see the bullet mark on the top left of the mirror
someone had used this piece for bb gun target practice
We were going to replace it but
that just had to stay as part of the history of our new vintage hall tree
makes me giggle

Many of you asked me about the butter dish in the picture above
As you can see this butter dish has a very large dome cover
a traditional BUTTER mark on the top and don't you just{Love}
the scroll filigree on the sides

♥

This butter dish is very elegant it has a faceted design
that catches the light and very sturdy thick pressed glass

The faceted pattern is on both the bottom and the cover of the butterdish

Do you think you know which butter dish
is the vintage treasure worth $55 dollars
and which one is the reproduction that cost $19.99

Is it the one on the left with the faceted design
or the one on the right with the high dome cover

If you chose the faceted pressed glass butter dish you are
RIGHT
it is the real vintage treasure worth $55

This butter dish is a fabulous reproduction and is available at Amazon.com
click { Butter Dish }
for only $19.99
